Qin Han Chu was also puzzled, what were they trying to do?
Did they already have the medicinal ingredients and want to privately ask Qin Han Chu to help them break through?
If that were the case, it would be a good thing.
As long as he obtained enough medicinal ingredients, Qin Han Chu could complete the breakthrough as quickly as possible and reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
Thinking of this, Qin Han Chu nodded, "Yes, when?"
"Is now okay?" the blonde beauty asked eagerly, surprised at how smoothly things were going.
"Let's go," Qin Han Chu said and walked out.
The blonde beauty smiled triumphantly at the youth from the Third Ancestor's lineage and quickly followed.
The youth stood stunned. Indeed, it was easier to get things done with a beautiful woman.
He had invited Qin Han Chu to a banquet, and Qin Han Chu had refused once.
Yet, with the blonde beauty, he became so agreeable.
What was most infuriating was that the blonde beauty had taken Qin Han Chu away first.
The Holy Tower was merely a place of work. If there were no major events, these "Ancestors" would cultivate in their respective residences.
Led by the blonde beauty, Qin Han Chu arrived at the "Second Ancestor's" ancient castle.
Just as they reached the entrance, the "Second Ancestor" with a smile on his face came to greet them.
The Second Ancestor's attitude made Qin Han Chu even more bewildered.
"Marquis Champion, you honor us with your presence. Please come in." The Second Ancestor, abandoning the coldness from the Holy Tower, became enthusiastic.
Qin Han Chu had no desire to exchange pleasantries with this fellow. He smiled and followed the Second Ancestor into the ancient castle.
After being seated, the blonde beauty personally served tea.
Qin Han Chu had drunk all sorts of fine teas, and moreover, the Second Ancestor was not a connoisseur of tea.
This tea ceremony was merely an excuse.
After taking a sip of tea, Qin Han Chu got straight to the point, "Let's talk business. Small talk is too awkward!"
The Second Ancestor smiled, "Marquis Champion, you are direct. I won't play coy either. I hope Marquis Champion will choose me to help break through my bottleneck. If you choose me, you will be richly rewarded."
"Do I get to decide who to choose? This seems to be your Holy Tower's own affair."
"Could it be that the 'Holy Ancestor' is afraid of offending people, hence giving the choice to me?"
Qin Han Chu asked thoughtfully.
"Precisely," the Second Ancestor nodded.
Qin Han Chu chuckled, "Heh... No wonder your attitude towards me has become so warm."
"As long as Marquis Champion chooses me, feel free to state any demands," the Second Ancestor said.
Qin Han Chu could understand these people's intentions.
The medicinal ingredients he needed were extremely rare. Even with the strength of the entire nation, it would be difficult to gather three portions.
Letting them gather them themselves would be even harder.
Therefore, the slots within the Holy Tower became their only hope.
"Don't think of me as too miraculous."
"To achieve a successful breakthrough, one needs to meet many requirements."
"The strength of the meridians, the purity of the qi, and so on, are all crucial factors."
"Among the five of you, it would be good if even one meets the requirements," Qin Han Chu said.
"Don't I meet the requirements?" the Second Ancestor asked urgently.
Qin Han Chu motioned for the Second Ancestor to raise his wrist, and then he took his pulse.
A moment later, Qin Han Chu shook his head, "You were severely injured before. Although you have recovered, your meridians have lingering hidden injuries. If these hidden injuries are not resolved, you will have no chance."
"This..."
"Marquis Champion is indeed a divine doctor to be able to know about my injury from my pulse."
"I believe Marquis Champion can definitely help me resolve the hidden injuries, right?"
Qin Han Chu's words made the Second Ancestor nervous.
He quickly flattered Qin Han Chu and then requested Qin Han Chu to treat him.
"I can treat it, but do you have anything to pay for the consultation fee?"
"I don't want money, only precious medicinal ingredients."
Qin Han Chu would not show leniency to the strong individuals of enemy countries.
If they wanted him to act as a doctor, they had to offer benefits first.
"How about a thousand-year-old ginseng?" As a top figure of the Principality of Berlin, the Second Ancestor naturally had many treasures.
When the Holy Tower collected medicinal ingredients, they would not be foolish enough to contribute their own.
After all, it was still unknown who would obtain the qualifications within the Holy Tower.
These six individuals within the Holy Tower were all harboring their own intentions and plotting in secret.
"Yes," Qin Han Chu nodded. "Let me make it clear beforehand, this is only the remuneration for treating the hidden injuries, and it does not mean I will definitely choose you."
"Understood," the Second Ancestor nodded.
Qin Han Chu smiled, "After the hidden injuries are healed, your conditions will be sufficient. If others do not meet the requirements, you will have no competitors."
Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement appeared in the Second Ancestor's eyes.
"Go and fetch the thousand-year-old ginseng," the Second Ancestor hurriedly said to the blonde beauty.
Ten minutes later, the blonde beauty returned with a brocade box.
When the brocade box was opened, a thousand-year-old wild ginseng, as long as an forearm, appeared before Qin Han Chu.
"You can go out now. I'm about to begin the treatment," Qin Han Chu said to the blonde beauty after closing the brocade box.
The blonde beauty rose and withdrew.
The Second Ancestor was a powerful cultivator in the middle stage of the Grandmaster realm. Even if Qin Han Chu wanted to assassinate him, it would be impossible.
Taking out his needles, Qin Han Chu first disinfected them, then said, "Do not intentionally circulate your internal qi, lest you dislodge the needles."
The Second Ancestor was confident that Qin Han Chu would not dare to harm him, so he stopped circulating his qi as Qin Han Chu instructed.
As the first needle was inserted, the Second Ancestor immediately fell into a deep sleep.
In reality, the Second Ancestor had no hidden injuries at all.
Qin Han Chu just wanted to swindle him out of some money.
To get a thousand-year-old wild ginseng with just a little effort was a huge profit.
The same method could be used on the other old fellows.
After going around, the gains would definitely be substantial.
As for choosing who to help break through, Qin Han Chu didn't need to think about it.
The "Holy Ancestor of Berlin" saying that Qin Han Chu would make the decision was merely a guise.
He would definitely choose to cultivate the person with whom he had the best relationship, and he would never let Qin Han Chu cultivate a potential enemy for him.
After inserting a few more needles, Qin Han Chu sat aside and played with his phone.
More than ten minutes later, Qin Han Chu finally removed the needles.
As the needles were removed, the Second Ancestor slowly woke up.
After waking up, the Second Ancestor felt relaxed all over, as if he had slept soundly.
"Marquis Champion, have my hidden injuries been healed?" the Second Ancestor asked.
"I will write you a prescription. After taking the medicine for two more days, you will be completely cured." Saying this, Qin Han Chu picked up paper and pen and wrote a prescription.
Taking the prescription, the Second Ancestor smiled, "Thank you, Marquis Champion. Please help me with the qualification for breakthrough. As long as you choose me, rare medicinal ingredients will be easy to come by."
"Mm," Qin Han Chu nodded, picked up the thousand-year-old wild ginseng, and said, "Take good care of yourself. I'm leaving now."
As soon as he left the Second Ancestor's ancient castle, the youth from the Third Ancestor's residence greeted him.
He glanced at the brocade box in Qin Han Chu's hand without revealing anything, then smiled and said, "The banquet is ready. Please come and dine, Your Highness."
